King James Version with Apocrypha
"They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away."
— Job 21:18, King James Version with Apocrypha
“They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.”
“That they are as stubble before the wind, And as chaff that the storm carrieth away? ”
“How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?”
“How often are they like straw before the wind, and like chaff swept away by a whirlwind?”
“They shall be as chaff before the face of the wind, and as ashes which the whirlwind scattereth.”
“How frequently are they as dry stems before the wind, or as grass taken away by the storm-wind?”
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
